Motorcycle Insurance

Motorcycle Insurance: Do You Really Need it?

Owning a motorcycle can be one of the most exhilarating things in life, but according to statistics from the National Safety Council, a motorcycle accident that causes serious bodily injury happens every 6 minutes in the United States.

Motorcycle theft is also on the rise—and only 20-25% of motorcycles that are stolen are ever found.

Aside from the requirements of the law, 80% of all motorcycle crashes result in a fatality, which is a startling reminder why complete protection is essential if you are a motorcycle owner.

If you think motorcycle insurance is “wasted” expense, think again: Insurance is more about managing your risks above any other consideration. Without insurance, all it takes is one accident to drain your savings or your ability to pay medical expenses for yourself or someone else you’re responsible for.

We’ve been doing this for a long time and know lots of ways to help you save and can suggest coverage options to help you pick what's right for you. 

What are your coverage options?

There are mandatory minimums, of course, but you may wish to consider other options on your bike, which are reasonably priced extras that can give you more comprehensive coverage, and better peace of mind, including:

  • Additional liability coverage is something all riders should carefully consider. By purchasing both liability insurance for others and uninsured motorist coverage at higher limits, you will greatly reduce the risk of financial loss to yourself.
  • Collision covers you in the case you’re in an accident that is your fault, this insurance pays to repair your bike, less the deductible amount.
  • Comprehensive is a good option to consider as it pays for fire, vandalism, theft, hail damage, storms, and other non traffic accident claims.
  • Roadside assistance - is one of those things you never think you’ll need, but will be thankful for if you ever break down far from home. Roadside assistance pays for jumps, gas, or towing your bike home or to the nearest facility.
  • Bike accessories covers replacement or repairs on any expensive customizations and personalizations you’ve added onto your bike.
  • Total loss insurance pays to replace your bike—not just the fair market value, which is usually lower than what you actually paid for the bike—but an entirely new ride.
  • Rental vehicle coverage is something you may wish to consider if you’re planning a long road trip, or you often ride far from home—you can transport a break down yourself, rather than pay excessive tow charges.
  • Trip interruption coverage helps pay for lodging, food and a substitute vehicle when a mechanical breakdown or a covered loss occurs more than 100 miles from home.
  • On road insurance for off road vehicles covers your dirt bike or ATV on the road—we consider this essential, and very affordable.
